One thing I didn't mention in the piece was how tickets were distributed. Soviet officials had control over how most of the tickets were distributed, but there were also a number of tickets released each day to the general public. After the exhibition closed every day at 10pm, people would start to line up for the…

I'm not sure you understand what "nationalism" (and you're using the word in the context of jingoism; nationalism in and of itself carries no moral component—it's only when that nationalistic tendency is turned toward a sense of superiority over other nationalities that it picks up a negative connotation) actually is.…

You called tasteskindasalty's comment ignorant, yet you ignored to answer his overall question.

You're spot on, Kevin. A major part of stories is the mechanism of they actually get reported and, in a lot of ways, it's more fascinating than the story itself. The first thing I thought when the Lebron story broke was "Wow, how did Jenkins get this scoop?". The second thing was "ESPN must be PISSED". A distant…

Bowling is a college sport?

There's a college world series?

Nobody cares about your pet project. Sorry.

The biggest problem I had was that the controls felt unnecessarily complex. EA gave a good shot at changing up the wrestling/grappling aspect from the previous MMA games, but it feels very empty, like my moves aren't being translated on the screen. I also experienced a lot of transition issue where I could deliver a…

The important part you clearly didn't read: "GameWorks forces ISVs (independent software vendors) into contracts in which they must use code provided by Nvidia that hampers the performance of AMD hardware."

Not until at least half of all new software sales come from them. As long as people are still buying more new XB360 and PS3 games, that's the dominant generation.

The term "soccer" came from England and only lost its popularity in the late 20th century. In the 19th century, there were two types of "football" - rugby football and Association football, which were nicknamed "rug-ger" and "soc-cer." The Yanks got the term from the English; it originated at Oxford…

Australia also calls it Soccer, or so I am told.

And England, jolly ol' England, is the one that coined the term "Soccer" from "Association Football" or whatever it was. They did this to differentiate it from Rugby Football because, yes, it was called Rugby Football.

And the reason American Football is called "football"…

Not in Japan. They call it soccer.

A hockey ref wouldn't be umpiring baseball.

A tree house would be in a tree. This is a really cool club house with a deck attached to a tree. I may even allow you to call it a pond house, seeing as it is in a pond.

And yet after seeing someone post this, it's all I'll ever dream of:

No, they all drowned. This is a whole new team.

Your posts are so painful to read. Learn how to use a god damn ellipsis properly.
